What Are Good Physics Books for Casual Reading?

[annaphys]

I'm studying physics and would like to read physics books during my free time. Does anyone have any suggestions? When I'm not studying it would be nice to read some not-so-technical books just for enjoyment. I've thought about reading biographies of influential physicists but I am up for anything you may recommend!

"A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes" by Stephen Hawking is a nice read.
